Hey guys! I'm finally back uploading after a BUSY summer, this week I wanted to break down how I've funded my first year of medicine. I don't get a tuition fee loan as this is my second degree and so for that reason I need to try and find the money for the fees myself.
Last year I made a video on how I planned to fund the degree:

I’m happy you’re proving that it is possible to work part time whilst at uni. I’m going to study my masters at the university of Birmingham and I intend on keeping my part time job in London for the weekends.

This vid has been super inspirational! I'm currently a 1st year med student in the Caribbean doing MBBS as my first degree. Thankfully I received a government bursary to cover my tuition, books and a monthly maintainance. Feeling super motivated to start back tutoring now lol, I enjoyed it anyway.

Hi Lydia, I hope you are well! You are very inspiring 💕 I’m also doing undergrad med after having studied biomed, so I feel the struggle. I am not sure if you’ve tried this before, but I thought that at first I wouldn’t get any help with tuition fees, but I applied on sfe to see what happens, and student finance said that the way they calculate the tuition fee loan entitlement is (number of years we’re entitled to + 1) -( number of years we’ve studied already), so my previous degree ended up taking 4 years, so I was gratefully entitled to (5-4)= 1 year of tuition fee loan, but they told me that I will get this in my 4th year. So if you did a 3 year course, you could potentially get 2 years worth of tuition fees x (might be worth trying to apply for a tuition fee loan, we got nothing to lose) x

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea 😱😱 I will 100% send in an application for a tuition fee loan next year and see what happens, thank you thank you!! 💖💖💖
